“You won’t disturb me. You can read in bed besides me if you want.” he offered, reaching over to her, and traced his fingers against her jaw gently. “I’m. I’m sorry, if I did something wrong. I just.. I just… any little thing you do I adore. Even small things you may not think of and… yeah.”
He ended lamely, before kissing her quickly, tasting the pizza on her lips. “So, so if you want you can join me. It’s okay.” he smiled faintly.
She blushed again, her eyes half lidded as she stared at him. “I don’t really like it that you..think you do something wrong when you don’t..is all..I want you to be comfortable around me, love. You don’t have to apologize for anything..”
She brought a hand up to try to block her blush. “So don’t feel bad for anything, okay..?”
He smiled faintly and nodded, before kissing her forehead. Jack turned and made his way through to the bedroom, Roxy obediently trotting away behind him since she felt it was her job to stand in the door when he did so. In case of intruders. Yes, very much so.
Jack changed into his winter pajamas and climbed into his bed, turning the light off as he did. Roxy, still in the door, made a ‘wuff’ noise at him as if saying goodnight, then trotted past Katelynn. They had a schedule, those too. Soon as daddy was in bed, Roxy could go on the beanbag and sleep. She pauses to sniff at Stella one last time before leaving the kitchen, to curl up on the beanbag.
